Assistive devices, fullscreen and VirtueDesktop

[ppcguy]

FIrst of all, let me say that having Parallels on my MacBook Pro is a dream come true. I don't know what I used to do before it came along. I've added Virtue Desktop and now I run Parallels fullscreen and flip between OS X and XP with some amazingly cool transtions.

However, there is an annoying problem that doesn't seem to be getting any attention. When using Virtue Desktop and Parallels in fullscreen, I have to turn off Assistive Devices, or Parallels won't release the keyboard in fullscreen mode.

Now, that normally wouldn't be a problem, but I can't use ANY of the little utitlities that I've come to rely on that require Assistive Devices to be turned on. No Typeit4me or Typinator. It's really frustrating.

Could you guys tell me if a fix is planned for the next Beta?

Thanks,

Mark Allison

This issue was reported about 3 months ago and many, many times since. I've never seen a definnitive response from Parallels so at this point, I'm assuming it's very low priority and not likely to get resolved anytime soon. Understandable given that many USB devices don't work. Vista doesnt work, only 3.5 meg supported, kernal panics in latest builds, etc, etc. I'd say that have higher priorities. But maybe we'll be surprised.
